DEXTER Spoiler












so far I like season three. space-fuck did something on her own, which is nice.

BUT one picky point- no way Prado doesn't need to see the body. I get letting Dex deal with it, but not see it for confirmation? what does he tell the brother? he must be one trusting son of a gun.

and I've never seen Jimmy Smits do anything other than "in control" (LA Law and NYPD) but i'm not sure he does tortured real well.

Nah, he's another hick archetype--he races snowmobiles (snow machines in Alaska) and deducts the expenses of his hobby from his business income. Between the mountains, he'd race midget cars or be a semi-pro bass fisher, but still get one sponsor so he claim it's a business and have all of us help pay (indirectly) for his hobby.

If I start writing restaurant reviews, concoct a "contest" where we rate the best review on some phony website and get a sponsor to back me, can I deduct dinners out?

It's too hands-on... too blue collar.

Crimes of the successful have to be effected indirectly. With computers. Or phones if you're old. If the local gumshoes can bust doing it by finding the homemade napalm under your fingernails, you're slumming.

My new favorite version of the Ramones "I wanna be sedated."

I saw the documentary Young at Heart about a choir with an average age of about 80 that sings stuff like the Clash and Coldplay last night, and it was ridiculously charming. The Road to Nowhere video is also pretty adorable. I especially loved the choir member who is on oxygen.

#%&^%*&*^ &^#$^% @#@$!*(*&%^& iPhone
 
After repeatedly beating my head against a wall for the last week or so, I have a question for you tech-savvy types. I bought an iPhone and though I don't care THAT much about using it in place of my iPod, I figured since Mr Man has all this stuff (music, videos, etc.) on his iTunes -- well, up to now OUR iTunes -- I should load up some songs and such and maybe cut back the number of devices that I have to take on a trip tomorrow down by one. My dilemma is that I had to set up a new account for myself when I got the iPhone so that I could get goodies like instantaneous syncing of contacts and the ability to download apps. Now I can't figure out how to get my iPhone to work with Mr. Man's (read: OUR) iTunes account. I set it to manual syncing after having a bad outcome with the "sync only checked" setting, but iTunes just does not seem t want to recognize that my iPhone is there. It worked for two songs and now even though my phone is connected via USB cable, it acts as if there are no devices connected.

Is there any way to have our iTunes accounts tied together since we are one household??

(Side note: I'm attaching it to a PC, which is where we are logged in to Mr. Man's account; my Mac is logged in to my iTunes account. I shouldn't have to do this on a Mac, right? We don't for our multitude of other iPod devices, including Mr. Man's iTouch.)

really low-level advice until burger can get here-

an iPod works on PC or Mac, but not both. maybe the phones are the same?

I read somewhere recently that it's not possible to merge itunes accounts. Yes, it sucks, at least within a home network. Your best bet, which is a shitty bet, is to copy all those songs to your computer as well. It's not possible to take "someone else's" music with you on your ipod--all you can do is stream the songs on your home network.

I blame the record companies (since Apple once allowed streaming over the internet to anyone anywhere without password protection in iTunes, and that got shut down within days).

http://discussions.apple.com/thread....05597&tstart=0 seems like it is the same problem you are having, at least kinda sorta, wanting to use music from an iTunes library that is not what is set up with your phone.

Is she getting that message? I didn't think there was a limit to devices on a single account, but that doesn't seem like the problem here.* Her iPhone account is linked to her iTunes account, but her iTunes account is not Man's iTunes account. She cannot get access to his iTunes account using her iPhone/iTunes account because Apple does not make that possible.


*There may be some limit, but I haven't heard of it. Apple presumably doesn't want someone setting up an iPod shop where they sync 500 ipods with the same music and send you on your way.

I'm not so sure what you've solved here.

I did a little more digging, and I still can't find a limit for the number of iPods sync'd to a given iTunes account. Folks seem to think it's unlimited.

There is a limit on the number of computers on which you have DRM'd music--that limit is 5, but you can deauthorize any given computer any time.

There is also a limit on burning a certain playlist--no more than 7 times with an identical playlist. Of course, does anyone burn anything anymore?

Go ahead . . . you should post on some Mac/iPod board and find out if there is in fact some limit. Googling for it came up with the same "no limit" answer, but maybe no one pees on their shuffles as much as you do.

Banksy? I suppose if selling a piece at Sotheby's for more than £100,000 meets your definition of fail, then yes.

BTW, he was probably born in 1974, so it's even worse for me with him... He likely has a much more awesome time fucking around than I do.

Not the art, just the name on the installation (which I assume was intentional).
